Fun Punches!

These great cards are from my Punch Card Class, and were so much fun to make!
Contact me for a kit of the punched cards from this class if you could not attend.  You get 6 cards in the set for $10, plus shipping cost if you live far.  Card stock is cut and scored, I did the punching and Big Shot work from the class, you just need to stamp and put together.  Contact me at tam_morton@earthlink.net to order.

Pansy Watercolor Card

I have seen lots of variations on this card, and what fun!  Here are the supplies I used and how I made those fun pansies.  The great thing about the Shimmery White card stock is the sparkle you get when you are done.  It may not show up that well here, but I love how it looks when the light hits it.  Contact me for more information at tam_morton@earthlink.net.

Supplies:

Perfect Punches and Sincere Salutations stamp sets

Card stock:  Very Vanilla, Elegant Eggplant and Shimmery White

Ink:  Elegant Eggplant ink pad and refill, Daffodil Delight refill

Big Shot with Manhattan Impression Folder and Top Note die

Butterfly, Wide Oval  and Large Oval Punches

Rhinestone Brads and the NEW Jewels - Rhinestones

Butterfly Pansies 

1.     Punch out two butterflies from Shimmer White cardstock (two for each flower).

2.     Spritz them with water (allowing the water to puddle and pool).

3.     Load Aqua Painter with Eggplant Envy ink (from a re-inker)  and touch the brush to the outer edges of the butterflies.   The ink will spread, but you might have to "help" it along.

4.     Touch the middle with Daffodil Delight Ink (from a re-inker)

5.     Let mostly dry (you can let sit, dab a little off, or heat set)

6.     Curl or push up edges so flower curls up a little.

7.     Adhere one butterfly crosswise over the other one by using a brad, or glue together and put a Jewel on top.  

Concord Bird Card

The ideas for this card and the vase card came from other great stampers at convention, where we swapped card fronts to get more fun ideas.  I just stepped it up a little with this card.

Ink:  Concord Crush

This is fun, and to mail just fold the flowers down, and slip in a note telling them to fluff the flowers.

Card stock:  Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black and Whisper White

Ink:  Basic Black

Two step Bird, 1-3/4" Scallop Circle, Ornament, Modern Label, Word Window punches

Fun with Punches

I just love all the punches Stampin'Up! offers.  My punch class featured some of these fun punches.  Here are cards from my class, and then I wanted to share some other fun card ideas too.

Contact me for a kit of the cards from the punch class.  You get 6 cards in the set for $12, plus shipping.  Card stock is scored and punched, plus the Big Shot work is done for you too.   Do your own stamping and have some great cards to share.

Tammie's Punch Card Class

Do you see the sparkle on the pansies?  I used Shimmery White paper with my aqua painter and ink refills to color them.  Use two butterfly punches to make the flower.  How cute is that?  Plus to make it easier to mail, I used the new rhinestone Jewels for the flower centers.

More ideas for punches on your cards...
First the two-step bird punch

I think my favorite new punch could be the owl punch, or maybe the bat, or maybe...

Close up of the owl in the grass card.  I sent this cute card out to a few customers.  I just love the punches.  Punch 3 times out of 3 different colors and make 3 different owls just like in the Thinking of You card.

Supplies used:
Stamps:  Inspired by Nature, Hello
Cardstock: Crumbcake, Chocolate Chip, Cajan Craze and Whisper White
Ink:  Crumbcake, Chocolate Chip
Punches:  Owl, Scallop Oval, Large Oval, Oval

This sundae card was an idea right out of the magazine that demonstrators get, Stampin' Success.  I had so much fun making this one last year I had to include it now.
